Finished the living room should be all ready for the new couch. Hopefully I will get it tomorrow. Pushing myself at work. Trying to get faster at my job. Didn’t have time to get my bike ready for rainy weather. Hopefully tomorrow.

Brought my tool in to install new molding for the living room. Everything is charging. Should have it installed tomorrow. My wiring parts arrived, need to make some power extension cables for the bike for Fridays trip.

Went into work today. Met the IT director in person. Nice guy. Planning a trip to take another test run of the bike. Looks like heavy rain on the trails. The motors and battery supposed to be waterproof. Will find out.

Dismantled my couch and chair and dropped it off at the dump. Found out later my new couch will not arrive today but hopefully Thursday. Using throw pillows and the kids bean bag chairs in the interim.

Modified my saddle bag to hold two batteries. Installed a grommet as a pass through for the power cord.  I used old kitchen thin plastic cutting boards and some rivets to make sleeves. I just drop in the batteries and go. Will test tomorrow.

Ride went well. Road for 30 miles on a single charge with energy to spare. Going up hill was a breeze, clocking 35 mph. Bike handled good. After testing the battery modification to the saddle bag I will head out to explore remote areas.

Got my bike ready for tomorrow ride on Iron Horse Trail to test out speed and endurance. The Electrical is still temporary state. Need to come up with a way to store them up right in the saddle bags. Needs to be simple.

Not a great day at work. Didn’t accomplish as much as I wanted. To resolve this, I will start waking up early to start work like I did before at my previous job. It’s less stressful and I can get my work and personal stuff done.

Back to my new routine. Work, drop off kids at school, pick them up, make dinner, and put the garbage out. Redesigned how I’m going to store the batteries on my bike. It will be much cleaner look and able to store my backpack on it.

Went for a test ride on my bike to see how far I could go with the batteries. I road from South Seattle all the way to Lechi in 35 minutes. Much faster than I thought.
